Creative Team Member Jo's Feb Challenge!!

I was so excited when Leanne asked me to join her wonderful team again and I couldn't wait to jump on board. I'm really looking forward to sharing some ideas and hoping to inspire you too.

For this months challenge I decided to go with an easel card.

My first technique was using my prisma pencils to colour the image. I love colouring! It really seems to help me unwind. The other technique is hand stitching. I have been going nuts with the hand stitching at the moment. It does take a little more time but I seem to have a love hate relationship with my sewing machine. I really like the effect that the stitching gives. Kinda just draws your eyes into the page.

Here is a close up of my cluster. All my pages or cards seem to have lots of clustering on. Sometimes I think I may go a little overboard. I did try to hold back a wee bit otherwise to post this card will cost a heap!

As for choosing a favourite colour combo - that was the hardest part! I love so many colours. So I chose one of my fav paper collections - Kaisercraft's The Lakehouse.

Now that the kiddies are back at school and holidays are over I hope you find some time to join in the fun of this months challenge. A great prize is up for grabs so why not have a go?
